§ 37. Mr. HOGGEasked the Secretary for Scotland what powers the British Aluminium Company have over the valley of the Spean and Treig; whether it is being converted into a dry gorge; and whether the valley could maintain many hundreds of people?
§ The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Clyde)I understand that the company has not at present any powers over the valley of the Spean or of the Treig. My hon. Friend has probably in view the proposals affecting the districts mentioned which are contained in the private Bill which the company is promoting this Session, but these proposals have not yet obtained Parliamentary sanction, and the latter parts of the question do not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. ADAMSONWhen is this private Bill likely to be produced?
§ Mr. CLYDEI have already said in my answer that there is in the present Session under promotion a private Bill. It will, of course, take its ordinary course.
§ Mr. D. MASONDo the Government intend to support this private Bill?
